Re: AFK/Leaver - Some Information for all Protectors

I hate to say it, but I am guilty of this AFK/Leaver method. But, after leaving, the game was also uninstalled. The regrettable thing is even though the game has good premise, it faces the same challenge that MMORPG's faced after World of Warcraft. How is this like LoL? And what makes it different? Sadly, the only difference really is the character choices. I've tried nearly a dozen new MOBA's since playing LoL. None have held up for more than a match or two. IC? I couldn't even finish a match. For anyone looking for a new take on MOBA's, Infinite Crisis has fallen short.

P.S. Visual feedback is a must, and given that a large amount of MOBA players are male, there should be a graphics function for the colour blind.

Re: AFK/Leaver - Some Information for all Protectors

I don't know if this has been said, but I lag some games so badly I have to afk or I feed. I mean when my toon runs off the map or under it so all I see is the ground what am I suppose to do? I don't understand some game are flawless with no lag and some it is impossible to play without feeding.

dude if u say that the only difference betwen lol and ic is character choice it obviously that u have no ideea of what ur talking about and obviously u only played one game and rage because u didnt understand what happend around in the game.

quiting a game after only one game..that says alot about u and that ur patience is 0

Problem is, a lot of people choose their games based on first impressions. There are basically ten games coming out each day and that's for PC only. First impressions are all that matters in a saturated market like the videogame one, and being a moba on top of it doesn't help. You can't play every single game for hours before deciding to stick or not.
If someone install IC, and runs it, the first impression is of a LoL clone. And well, basically, it is. Everything feels like a LoL reskin, from the picking phase to the loading screen to the basic mechanics to the art direction.
Then you actually play the game for a day, and start to see original mechanics here and there. But a lot of people never reach that phase, they quit way before that.

Back to the afk issue, there's no system actualy preventing people afking to gain merit after the match, or disconnecting them after 4 mins of aking and giving them like a 6 hours penalties to find new games. Hope they'll implement it soon

my first impression was, "oh my god I just used a boxing glove fired from a bazooka to take out batman, I love this game". in all reality if you like comic books or don't like getting constantly yelled at then you will choose this game. because while this is my first MOBA my understanding is that LOL and DOTA communities have become so toxic that it is no longer fun to play.
